Haha, I suppose. Nearly every IFC chapter I have spoken with (at large universities) uses a digital camera to take pictures of potential new members at some point during the rush process. Using a web camera just simplifies the process and requires less external hardware. It's also optional.

It's not too different from the online software that most Panhellenic councils use for sorority recruitment. Many also require PNMs to submit a photo during registration.

As for the other things, it's just a digital version of a pen and paper system.

While some schools do require digitized photos, that's going to the Panhellenic council, not the individual sororities. They are also photos that the rushees themselves submit, not pictures taken by the sorority members when they walk into rush parties (for what it's worth, that is forbidden at some schools). Personally, I'd be squicked out if I was a guy and walked into a party and a bunch of other guys wanted to take pictures of me and put it on a laptop that I have no idea who owns it or controls it. YMMV.

33girl, I agree with everything you have said.

The great thing about technology is that it can be adapted to fit specific needs and/or it can be a catalyst for change.
